Promoting Academic Integrity & Deterring Offences

Preventing academic misconduct is a key goal. While we’d like to think that students arrive at the University with the tools for success (and to avoid misconduct), unfortunately this isn’t always the case. Your role in helping students gain these tools and learning about academic integrity is thus critical.

Educating students and taking steps to deter offences are two key strategies for achieving this goal. In combination with good detection methods and enforcement of policies, these approaches can help reduce the likelihood of offences in your course and help students improve their work.
